Physician Scorecards
Satisfying JCAHO OPPE Requirements for Practitioners with Privileges
The Joint Commission (JCAHO) now requires accredited hospitals to examine and evaluate performance data for all practitioners with privileges on an ongoing basis as part of their Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE) initiative.
JCAHO requires:
- Data on actual performance & performance issues
- Ongoing internal review and evaluation (more frequent than every twelve months)
- Use of data to guide decisions on whether to continue or take action on privileges
- Incorporation of data into credentials files
It’s a worthy initiative – but many hospitals have been struggling to comply with the new standards.
